General Description of Collection: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) promulgated Regulation C, 12 CFR part 203, to implement the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), 12 U.S.C. 2801-2810. Regulation C requires depository institutions that meet its asset-size threshold to maintain data about home loan applications (the type of loan requested, the purpose of the loan, whether the loan was approved, and the type of purchaser if the loan was later sold), to update the information quarterly, and to report the information annually. Pursuant to Regulation C, insured state-nonmember banks supervised by the FDIC with assets over a certain dollar threshold must collect, record, and report data about home loan applications. The FDIC is revising this information collection to align the burden estimates with the Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In doing so, the FDIC has added eight line items to its information collection and has revised the estimated time per response for certain items for consistency across all agencies. This has resulted in an increase of approximately 500,000 hours in the total estimated annual burden.

2. Title: Management Official Interlocks.

OMB Number: 3064-0118.

Form Number: None.

Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and state savings associations.

Burden Estimate:

Summary of Estimated Annual Burden

[OMB No. 3064-0118]

Information collection description	Type of burden (obligation to respond)	Frequency of response	Number of respondents	Number of responses per respondent	Hours per response	Annual burden (hours)
Management Official Interlocks	Reporting (Mandatory)	On Occasion	1	1	4	4
Management Official Interlocks	Recordkeeping (Mandatory)	On Occasion	1	1	3	3
Estimated Total Annual Burden						7
Source: FDIC.

General Description of Collection: The FDIC's Management Official Interlocks regulation, 12 CFR 348, which implements the Depository Institutions Management Interlocks Act (DIMIA), 12 U.S.C. 3201-3208, generally prohibits bank management officials from serving simultaneously with two unaffiliated depository institutions or their holding companies but allows the FDIC to grant exemptions in appropriate circumstances. Consistent with DIMIA, the FDIC's Management Official Interlocks regulation has an application requirement requiring information specified in the FDIC's procedural regulation. The rule also contains a notification requirement. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The overall reduction in burden hours is a result of economic. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased while the hours per response and occupational distribution have remained the same.

3. Title: Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending

OMB Number: 3064-0191.

Form Number: None.

Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and savings associations.

Burden Estimate:

Summary of Estimated Annual Burden

[OMB No. 3064-0191]

Information collection (IC) description	Type of burden (obligation to respond)	Frequency of response	Estimated number of respondents	Estimated frequency of responses	Estimated time per response (hours)	Total estimated annual burden (hours)
Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending—Implementation	Recordkeeping (Voluntary)	On Occasion	1	1	987	987
Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending—Ongoing	Recordkeeping (Voluntary)	On Occasion	4	0.25	529	529
Estimated Total Annual Burden						1,516
Source: FDIC.

General Description of Collection: The Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending (Guidance) outlines for agency supervised institutions high level principles related to safe-and sound leveraged lending activities, including underwriting considerations, assessing and documenting enterprise value, risk management expectations for credits awaiting distribution, stress testing expectations, pipeline portfolio management, and risk management expectations for exposures held by the institution. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents and frequency of responses have decreased.
